Maternity photography from a Blessingway. Save the moments of the Celebration of Giving Life with a professional Pregnancy Photographer!

Life is too short for poses.

The Blessingway is a celebration of the Miracle of Giving Birth. It is a women’s community occasion, a deep and uplifting ceremony, a celebration of Motherhood and Life.

Expecting a child, the nine months of pregnancy endows you with a clear mission, gives you beautiful purpose. You are a miracle carrier.

These magical nine months pass quickly, so let’s keep the memories from this unique life stage.

“Pregnancy is a sensitive condition. To find a good maternity photographer was very important for me. I choose Mea, because she is photographing moments with a special atmosphere. I see true emotions on her images, moments with a unique vision, and spontaneity. At my ‘blessingway’ event she worked in the background, quietly, almost imperceptibly. I saw that it did not bother anyone, preserving the intimate atmosphere. I could trust her and because of that, I could totally focus, and be in the moment.” (Kate)

“The strength of a woman moves mountains!”

The Blessingway is a Birth Release Ceremony. It comes from the Navajo Indian tradition. A celebration in honor of the mother about to give birth, with the participation of female relatives, family members, girlfriends and the village midwife. Their ceremony lasts three whole days, filled with blessings, songs, eating together, beautifying the mother and pampering her body.

This supportive women’s circle helps the woman preparing to give birth to receive strength and love in the community, thereby preparing for the task and miracle that awaits her: experiencing Birth through Pregnancy.

Look at your own body with admiration and respect, be able to connect with it during maternity, and wait for the arrival of your child with confidence.

These kind of initiation ceremonies are missing from our accelerated societies. But how affirming and healing is the conscious experience of entering a new stage of life! To honor ourselves and each other by separate time and attention to the Celebration.

I am grateful to have been a part of this quiet ‘stop’, this sustaining community force, the miracle of female connection.
